[DRE-maint] Bug#1008753: ITS: trocla

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: trocla
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org, Jonas Genannt <genannt at debian.org>

Hi trocla maintainers!

It seems like the trocla package is lagging a little behind
upstream. I filed a NMU (#988074) fixing RC bugs to experimental
(because freeze) and it hasn't been acknowledged yet.

I am happy to take over the package. I am following the package
salvaging process as described here:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging

I consider the package fitting for salvaging based on the un-ack'd
NMU, the two missed upstream releases, and the unanswered critical
bugs.

I plan on uploading the current experimental (now NMU'd to unstable)
release (0.3-0.1) to unstable, adding myself as uploader, keeping
everything else intact. Which means that the current uploader and team
maintainership would remain.

I am *not* (as far as I know?) part of the Ruby team but I'm happy to
join if you consider it necessary.

I'm happy to cut this in any other shape you might desire, but I need
this package at work so I'd love to see it in better shape. :)

Thanks!
